On March 6, 2010 I posted my original review for Appleton 151 Dark Jamaican Rum which I was told at the time was one of the more favoured rums on the Isle of Jamaica. A lot of time has passed, and now 13 years later I have reached the bottom of that bottle which was originally opened 13 years ago.
Unfortunately, the overproof dark rum appears to have been discontinued for several years now. The only bottles I see for sale are on auction sites rather than retailers. As this rum holds a bit of nostalgia for me (it was one of the first rums I reviewed many years ago) I thought I would give it a brief update on the website with a better bottle image and more detailed tasting notes using the last swallows from my now empty bottle.
Here is a link to the review of this blast from the past:

Let’s hope this one comes back.
Chimo!
